ITEM 1.01 – Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On March 25, 2005, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Bank of Hawaii Corporation (the “Company”) approved the grant of incentive awards (“Incentive Awards”) to eight executive officers of the Company under the Bank of Hawaii Corporation Executive Incentive Plan (the “EIP”). The EIP is a subplan of the Bank of Hawaii Corporation 2004 Stock and Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”) and the Incentive Awards constitute awards under the 2004 Plan.
The Committee approved a 2005 incentive pool for participating executive officers equal to 2.0% of the Company’s consolidated net income before taxes for 2005 (the “2005 Incentive Pool”). Maximum individual Incentive Awards under the EIP (expressed as a percentage of the 2005 Incentive Pool) range from 19% to 9% for participating executives.
The Committee has the authority to reduce (but may not increase) the amount payable pursuant to any Incentive Award. Payment of the Incentive Awards will be subject to the Committee’s certification of the Company’s consolidated net income before taxes for 2005.
